If you’ve only ever reached for leggings on gym days or lazy weekends, allow Simone Ashley to expand your horizons. Stepping out this week the actor proved how easily leggings can mould into a festive-season hero.
Rather than defaulting to an oversized knit or casual trainers, Simone layered hers with Chloé's Short Riding Coat (£2500), cinched neatly with the brand’s Midnight Belt (£750). The structured silhouette brought polish, giving her sleek black leggings a refined edge that pushed them firmly into “eveningwear” territory.
Stepping into a pair of suede heeled pumps, Simone's shoe choice added height, a complementary wash of colour and an outfit-elevating textural contrast. With Chloé's Bracelet Bag (£2050) in hand, she crafted a leggings look that was comfortable, elegant and far from casual.
While her accessories did much of the elevating, the cut of her leggings played its part too—the cropped, capri-style silhouette introduced a lightness and a distinctly fashion-forward feel that made the entire outfit sing.
